The first time I heard the …

When this album was released many people were disappointed with it. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I first heard this record as well. The thing is, this album sounds almost nothing like the debut album by this band. Their previous album, released in 2005, sounded …

Pavement’s “Slanted and Enchanted” is one of the quintessential indie-rock albums of the 1990s. There is a certain rawness to the whole affair — dissonance, and fuzzy production values give this album a homemade feel. The lyrics have a distinctly post-modern, sometimes dark tone to them, while others …

This is a great first album from this new pop punk band. More on the pop side than punk but still there. The lead singer embodies that sort of upper middle class dissolute rakish character and it works well. They’re certainly not the most intellectual band …

A lot of people try to trash talk Miley Cyrus for being a rebellious Disney Star who has made a lot of mistakes in the public eye by posting really bad pictures of herself on public social networking sites. Although I do not think Miley Cyrus is a great …

To be honest, i’ve never been a great fan of coldplay, and So I wasn’t very excited about listening to their newest album, X&Y, released on june 6th, 2005. I put the headphone on, and steady notes of the same Coldplay-ish music came pouring in.
X&Y claims to have used …
